Eric Capo is an Assistant Professor at Umeå University focusing on the ecology of marine and freshwater systems, particularly on aquatic microorganisms such as bacteria, archaea, and protists. His research aims to understand the temporal dynamics of microbial communities and their functional responses to environmental changes, including climate change, eutrophication, and mercury pollution. He is particularly interested in the consequences of climate-induced deoxygenation across freshwater-to-brackish transitions and vice versa, studying how these shifts affect microbial communities in water columns. Utilizing molecular ecology approaches including ancient metagenomics and MAGs-based analysis metatranscriptomics, Eric combines genetic information from both past and modern environments to elucidate the intricate relationships between microbial communities and their environments. He leads the Eric Capo lab and is involved in several ongoing research projects, focusing on biodiversity in aquatic ecosystems and the impacts of climate change on these vital environments.
